Great sporting finales

Lewis Hamilton won Formula One after h overturned his fortune in the last lap at Brazilian Grand Prix. Hamilton needs at least 5th place to be 2008 driver champion. When turning to the last lap at Brazilian Grand Prix, he was at no. 6, while his rival, Felipe Massa won the race. suddenly, lady's luck help Hamilton as the no.5 that time, Timo Glock of Toyota had difficulty to control his car and Hamilton take the advantage; finished5th.


Another great finales:

-Champions League final 98/99: Bayern Munich seems to win the CL title that time. It was in additional time, when Teddy Sheringham equalised for Manchester United. Next, it was Ole Gunnar Solksjaer to win it for Manchester United. I still remember this game. It was crazy actually, but as a truly MU's fans, I were very happy to watch it.

-2003 World cup Rugby final: Jonny Wilkinson kicked three penalties and Jason Robinson then scored a try on the stroke of half-time to give England a 14-5 interval lead over Australia. But Elton Flatley booted three second-half penalties to level the score at 14-14 and take the match into extra-time. Wilkinson kicked a penalty in the 82nd minute but Flatley responded in the 97th minute to level the scores again at 17-17. England then got the ball from a Mat Rogers kick and with 26 seconds left on the clock, the ball was fed back to Wilkinson to attempt a drop goal. He nailed it between the posts and England won the World Cup for the first time - on Aussie turf at the Telstra Stadium in Sydney.


What I learnt from this events is we should never give up and give our best shots in whatever we do.
